Until today, we had been having a beautiful December out here in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. Almost no snow and ice, and I have been able to go the most of the month without getting in a car.
Ahead of last night’s storm I got in one last ride on my road bike. Now that the cold and snow is here, I won’t be using my road bike for a few days.
In other words, I’ll have to switch to my mountain bike! It is supposed to drop to -4F tomorrow night, so I’ll probably have to put on long pants and wear a scarf over my face when I ride.
BTW – I assume that most of the eco-loons who think the environment is falling apart live in big cities, because everything is just fine around here – in the environment.
You do live in a great part of the world Steve. Would like to see more photo’s of your neck of the woods on the blog all through the seasons.

I’m jealous!
I’ll just get on my boat and head up to the Everglades for some fishing.
Supposed to be close to 80F the rest of this week. 😉
Steve can keep his -4 F. I’m jealous of the 80F!!! Sadly, Steve’s going to share his -4. Today, the temp spiked to 69F. Tomorrow night its suppose to be 18F. 🙁
Steve, stay safe out there and watch out for aggressive drivers!
Haven’t been hit by any cars this month!
late this summer i had to hit the ditch while a driver was busy looking at the floor of his vehicle and drifted right over into the white line area where i was riding…and other various close encounters this year…
I almost crashed yesterday going around a curve while I was checking out some girl’s rear end in spandex.
hah!! No CO2 belching V8s for you then ha Steve?
And I thought you were a good bloke. Bruddy greenies, they’re everywhere 🙂
I’ve got a 4X4 Suburban which gets 8 MPG. I drive it about four times a year.
Steven,
Happy New Year, stay warm, great blog.
Phoenix Arizona forecast is for low 20s (deg F) for the next couple of nights. Love that Global Warming.
That should wipe out the citrus crop
Here in East Tennessee I still have about 50% snow cover left over from last week-end but we are expecting warming for a couple of days that will take care of that. While walking today I saw where the Turkeys have scratched through the snow and leaves for food!
